Our OMI Toolbox Application is out now !
We are happy to announce that our " OMI Toolbox " application has just released and ready for your use. As myocardial infarction (MI) and many other diagnoses (for example left ventricular hypertrophy, prior MI etc.) can cause ST-segment elevation (STE) on electrocardiogram (ECG), the distinction between them may be hard and complicated. Furthermore, some ECGs may not meet the STEMI criteria but may still be diagnostic for acute coronary occlusion (ACO). For this purpose, only one set of diagnostic or differentiating criteria (STEMI criteria) is not enough, therefore a bunch of different tools are needed to make a&nbs...

Myocarditis update from Sweden
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID19/vaccine myocarditis debate continues in large part because our public health institutions are grossly mischaracterizing the risks and benefits of vaccines to young people. A snapshot of what the establishment says as it relates to the particular area of concern: college vaccine mandates: Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. As of Feb. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. “The arg...

What is Windkessel effect? Cardiology Basics
The term ‘Windkessel effect’ is used in the setting of large elastic arteries like aorta. Elastic arteries  have elastic tissue much more than the muscular arteries and are located nearer to the heart. Elasticity helps these blood vessels to maintain a relatively constant pressure gradient and flow though, the heart is pumping only intermittently. The original term ‘Windkessel’ means ‘air chamber’ in German language. It was an air chamber used in fire engines in the 18th century, to maintain continuous delivery of water for fire-fighting. In the case of aorta, the aortic elasticity causes expansion and te...

Ebstein ’ s anomaly and pregnancy
Ebstein’s anomaly and pregnancy Ebstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valve was first described by Wilhelm Ebstein in 1866 [1]. It is characterized by distal displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of tricuspid valve. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like. A portion of the right ventricle is ‘atrialized’ due to the distal displacement of the tricuspid valve. Right atrium is often grossly dilated. Right to left shunting occurs across a patent foramen ovale producing cyanosis of variable extent. Ebstein’s anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart diseases in which survival to adul...
